Se Per Havervi, Oime from Madrigali: Six Fire Songs on Italian Renaissance Poems

文艺复兴时期作曲家蒙特威尔第（Monteverdi）的偈颂为我自己的 Madrigali 提供了灵感。在这个时代的意大利爱情诗中，火焰、燃烧和火的象征性意象经常出现，而我对采用这种火的动机的文本进行的循环创作，将那个时代的音乐风格特点（文字绘画、调式、大胆的和声转换、复杂的对位、augenmusik等）融合到了现代作曲习惯中。乐曲由一个单一的原始音色（"火弦"）发出，它揭开了乐曲的序幕，并以各种形式和手法广泛出现在所有六个乐章中，为诗歌提供了统一的动机。国家艺术基金会已将这组狂想曲指定为 "美国合唱杰作"

原文简介:
Madrigals by the Renaissance composer Monteverdi provided the inspiration for my own Madrigali. Symbolic images of flames, burning and fire recur often in Italian love poems from this era and my cycle on texts employing this fire motive blends stylistic musical features of the period (word painting, modality, bold harmonic shifts, intricate counterpoint, augenmusik, etc.) within a contemporary compositional idiom. The music emanates from a single, primal sonority (the “Fire-Chord”) which opens the piece and is found extensively throughout all six movements in myriad forms and manipulations, providing motivic unity to complement the poetic. This cycle of madrigals has been designated an American Choral Masterpiece by the National Endowment for the Arts.
